Tampa was a straight shooting bullsh¿tter. Knew how to get next to people and provoke them. RIP Tampa
Body Language Basics: Contrary to popular opinion it is almost impossible to tell when someone is lying. However, it is quite easy to see when someone is uncomfortable. Our torso contains our most vital organs. When your client/wife/friend begins to cover up those organs it is a reptilian response triggered by the first part of our brain to evolve. When one feels vulnerable - or under attack - we cannot always fight or flee. Thus the natural response to cover.
Confident Public Speaking: One of the easiest ways to become a more confident speaker is to come out from behind the podium. Simply removing any barriers between you and the audience will trick your body into reality; you are not under attack. Black Belt Body Language practitioners use their environment/body structure to change their own frame of mind, decrease anxiety and even increase testosterone when faced with a difficult situation. Obviously, Buzz Aldrin does not lack confidence nor is he a novice at public speaking. You can tell by the way he is dressed. For the novice, step away from the podium. If anxiety is still present, pace back and forth as you speak (think Chris Rock or a Southern preacher). Leave the podium for the experts!
cup and two handles-ish ascending triangle-ish the market has recovered-ish from days on end of terrible news if these highs are taken out, the market may make a quick run on the long side
JR: Our last show received such a resounding response, it is time to welcome back our favorite guest. Larry Sugar. JR: Welcome Larry. LL: Sugar, please. JR: Sure. Well for new listeners Sugar, aka Wall Street Boy, @lawrence-lugar is a superstar. How did you get famous Sugar? LL: My monster cock was a pretty big hit with the ladies in High School. JR: Teachers, the Principal? (Creepy laugh on my part.) LL: No, the girls. JR: You like 'em young, huh? LL: Not at all. Most of the time, when I am perusing the panties section at Walmart, I only take pics of Mom's breast feeding. JR: [I hit the button to ask my producer if this is really necessary. During the silence, Sugar relays a story about masturbating in the Walmart parking lot. My producer assures me that my highest ratings come from having Larry on the show. If I want syndication, this is the only way.] LL: [finishing up his story] ... and I splooged all over my plastic spoons. JR: Wow. I guess you really do have fuck you money! LL: Look Johnny. Fuck you money is a state of mind. JR: True. But isn't it kind of creepy to hang out in Walmart's lingerie section without buying anything. LL: It would be if I didn't buy anything. I buy at least one pair of panties every week. JR: For what? LL: I put them on my keychain. I am a baller. JR: No doubt. A listener sent me a pic of your lowered Dodge Neon. Quite a ride my friend. Hold on I have another text coming through. JR: Nice keychain Sugar! I would love to see the look on the Valet's face when you roll up to your favorite restaurant. LL: Oh, they love me. JR: You must be a big tipper! LL: The tip is huge!! JR: Are we talking about your cock again? LL: Nope. I give the valet stock tips. Unless its a chick! Then I give her Dr. Diacco's number. JR: Diacco, the breast implant surgeon from Tampa? LL: Same guy. JR: Wouldn't it be more helpful if you gave them cash. A lot of the valets are in college. Some even have kids. LL: Look Johnny. No free lunches. Besides, bigger titties leads to a better quality of life. JR: Boy, you certainly have it all figured out. Hold on. Another text is coming through. I just pulled up your website. JR: Wow. It's gone. What happened to the Wall Street Boy? LL: When I reached eight inches I became a man! JR: No doubt! So, will you be changing the website from WallStreetBoy.com to WallStreetMan.com? LL: Nah. I have all these soiled panties to get rid of. I think I will sell them to pervs on the internet. JR: Great advice! At least you are familiar with the market. One last question. LL: Johnny, I am posted up in Walmart right now. Damn. This chick is fine! JR: A breast feeding Mom? LL: Nope. Her daughter. I wonder if she likes bad boys? JR: Pedophiles? LL: Fuck off Johnny. Ask your last question. I need to make my move. JR: Do you really live on BeeJay drive in San Diego? LL: Destiny my friend! JR: Well. Thanks for stopping by Sugar. Good luck on your soiled panties empire. [I hear the phone drop as Walmart security wrestles Sugar to the ground. Damn. I guess Larry should have waited.] WMS: Sir, pull your pants up. The Sheriff is on the way. JR: [I ask my producer once again if this is necessary. He assures me it is.]
If the market does roll over, TSLA will make a good short when (if) this congestion (daily) breaks down. @lawrence-lugar ITM puts, one month out; if/when the break happens. My DM blew up with angry women decrying the fact that I went after Larry Sugar. He is more popular than I realized. For now on, only glowing, positive reviews on his outstanding trolling ability will be tolerated. Although I am quite amazed when someone who dishes it out cannot take it. Long live Larry Sugar and may the fruit of his loins prosper!
Hmmm. Looks like a good place to be long. Stop below swing low. Nice little ascending triangle on the hourly today.
I guess this play depends on what you consider a swing low. (A 30 cent stop would be pretty tight on an overnight hold.) I will chalk this up as a loss though. I will be looking at the 160 level. Although that would be a little wide for my comfort level. No excuses! Market 1, Johnny 0!
Still watching Wheat (etf & W). Chapter 11 on data testing brings up an interesting conundrum on testing futures contracts because of the rollover effect. One solution the author suggests is to remove the gaps or use electronic data. There are pros and cons to both. My head hurts reading that section! Until I actually open a TradeStation account I won't be any closer to a solution! For now, that $100/month would be better served for debt reduction! I do have a solution that I think will work. See next post.
The Rules: Play breaks of 8 week H/L $1,000 trailing stop Keep in mind: Commissions will be different. Slippage as well. However, here is the idea. The last time I attempted to trade futures was in 2014/2015. Granted, I did not have tue edge I thought, but one great idea came from it. Instead of paying data fees to get futures contracts data on a charting package I once used, I used freestockcharts.com ( a Worden, free product). I used the Qs to trade the NQ. Why? Arbitration algos will keep the ETF price from diverging from the NQ (emini) for very long. The ETF also has more volume, so I believe that is also a bonus; even though l have heard of hedge funds pushing the market with the futures. To me that was not a concern. So what is the idea? Back test the system using the ETF. If the profit is marginal, or loses money, scrap it. If it shows promise, use one of tue heftier methods the author outlines. How? Use NQ/QQQ for example 800 shares of the Qs for one emini e.g., A 30 cent loss would translate to a $240 loss I do recognize the limited volume on the commodity contracts, and ETF, so a realistic number would need to be used. The author suggests $25, but that may be dependent on the contract being traded. That would be a good place to start.
